[LLVMdev] MOS6502 target

[Roel Jordans]

Hi,

I found the tutorial presented at last LLVM conference very helpful when 
starting on my own backend.  Especially with the GitHub repository 
containing a template backend that was quite easy to rename and extend.

Here's the slides with a pointer to the repository:

Cheers,
  Roel
